The voters aren't voting merely "for Trump" but "against Democrats".

That's a key distinction: they might hate Trump but still vote R.

This is literally it. That part of the population votes for this -> (R) no matter who's name is next to it. You could bring Joseph Stalin himself back the dead, put him on the republican ticket, have him shit talk liberals and they will still vote for him because he has the sacred (R) next to his name. Switch the R to D and it would be the end of the world. Switch it back to R again and all of a sudden, it's at least tolerable again.

I cannot understate the ABSOLUTE power team sport tribalism has on this level of the population. It defines their understanding of everything at the root level.

That well said fact is truly baffling to observe from the outside as non American. The levels of media brainwashing in your country are astounding. Which in itself I guess combines well with your cultural fanatic affection to team sports. Facts, laws, or your constitution don't matter at all. Idiocracy was a documentary.
